AuthorTopic: Vector Linux 6.0 KDE-Classic feedback (Read 59709 times)

After having tried this on out on the old lappy for some weeks, I have also installed on the tower now.

xconf could not setup my screen to 1680x1050, but visiting the ATI homepage provided me with the Radeon driver I needed. Looking very good now.also had to run alsaconf in a terminal to get sound working.

installed digikam 0.9.6 as per the thread in package requests, openoffice from the repo and danish language support from the repo.

This is now a very fine system, and I might consider NOT to go for 6.0 SOHO

I installed KDE-Classic recently and noticed that during the installation process, I was only given the choice to select/deselect 2 optional packages. I just installed it in VirtualBox for testing and I didn't really need either one of them so I deselected them both. When I finished the installation, I found that EVERYTHING else had been installed. While I don't really mind this time since I was only testing, I don't want to install everything if I put KDE-Classic on my main system. Did it just not show everything for some reason because I was in VirtualBox? Or is that just the way it is?

The install process can't tell the difference from real hardware to a VM

Ok. A related question then: The installer didn't give me a chance to select the display resolution. The monitor's resolution is 1280x1024. The installation's resolution is set at 1024x768 and it won't go any higher. How do I change that and make it 1280x1024?

I was playing with this for a little while but seem to be unable to find the kdm (login) theme manager in the control center.Am I missing something here?

Also I was wondering how I can change the default bash prompt. I have tried modifying .bashrc (in my local profile) & changed /etc/profile all without effect. Is there another file somewhere that is controlling this?

I just found this release today. Downloaded and installed .I was surprised how fast the install went . Everything works great on anIBM Thinkpad R32 .

At first, i had trouble with the networking. As it turns out, myisp went down at the time I first booted the installation!

This is the style I love about Vector Linux: simple and fully functional. As its my first day, I am experimenting with replacing my over 2 year old install of Vector Linux 5.8 SOHO on my tower pc . Its a hard choice, i love the old FF 2 and got used toSeamonkey. But that can be fixed !

If I would have known about this distro, I would have tried it sooner. Personally, I did not like the 'non-KDE' VLs . No, this is the best so far. Now, to dig in and 'test' for installing on my tower.Thanks!

I have run vl classic kde3 live, and it looks great. I have not been able to install the install version to the hdd, the error says (something unexpected occurred and dumps me to a command line. Live ran pretty fast on this modest box.Cheers
